There are plenty of new characters for Star Wars fans to love in The Acolyte, but the internet seems to be especially fond of one Jedi in particular – Yord Fandar (Charlie Barnett). Affectionately dubbing themselves the “Yord Horde,” fans can’t help but love the nerdy awkwardness of Yord’s by-the-book adherence to Jedi rules and regulations. He’s the guy in class who reminds the teacher that they forgot to assign homework, and we love him for it.
But because Yord is a staunch rule-follower and devout member of the Jedi Order, there are some who believe that his black-and-white thinking could lead him down a path to the dark side, and not just because his name rhymes with Sith Lord. As @Tchalla_Fett on Twitter points out, a strict adherence to rules rarely turns out well. Characters like Yord cling onto rules tightly for a reason, and when they suddenly find reason to doubt them, it can cause them to question everything and spiral down a dark path.
